    Hey there, a little tip from an emergency doc. Never use automatic blood pressure devices because they are always inaccurate. It's even forbidden to use them on emergency vehicles here in germany because of the aformentioned inaccuracy. Measuring it with a stethoscope manually is quite easy and faster too.

      I don't know if stethoscopes are normal in ER, but I have probably never seen them used in routine BP measurements, my doctors have used them a couple of times in a decade for respiratory issues (so they don't even use them every time I report a cough or a fever). Speaking from EU North and South!

      In the United Arab Emirates, automatic BP machines are predominantly used in both clinics and hospitals, including emergency rooms, for measuring blood pressure. While stethoscopes may theoretically provide more accurate readings, the difference is not significant enough to completely disregard the use of automatic BP machines.

      While I believe you're right, I haven't had a doctor use a stethoscope to take my bp in probably 20 years, not even the couple of times I was in ICU.

      Genau, lege artis speaking, sphygmomanometer is always the golden tool to measure BP accurately. I've tried and compared the BP by using manual/sphygmomanometer and by using automatic machine as in Omron on my patients especially who have condition such as hypertension, the number from both tools show 20-ish range which is actually catastrophic in someone who has certain condition.

    132/81 on a good medical device vs 105/56 on my watch 6 classic. I love the watch but I think the blood pressure accuracy is garbage.

      @@WYSbyAdamLashI understand that the watch is not a replacement for a medical device. My point is that in my personal findings the watch 6 Classic just spits out averages of the three values you enter during calibration. If for example you happened to have had very low blood pressure during watch blood pressure calibration and entered these low values given by the certified blood pressure medical device like in my case, it will afterwards always show you very inaccurate values much lower than your actual blood pressure when it's actually normal or even when your medical device shows dangerously high values. I usually have high blood pressure controlled by medicines so I really wanted this feature to be useful for me but personally I think that the approval for this feature by the world health organization or FDA shouldn't have happened because it's a gimmick. That's just what I think based on my personal findings with this particular watch. I very much wish it was different...

      Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your concern. I rechecked the readings against a medical-grade device after some time, and they were still within the normal range. One of the reasons I did the workout in the video was to test the watch under different conditions, as exercise can increase blood pressure. Could you please try calibrating the watch again with another BP monitor or use a different Galaxy Watch to see if the readings are consistent? I had a similar problem when the watch was calibrated earlier against an Omron monitor and it was giving some incorrect readings. Also, please take care of your health. Of course, listen to your doctor's advice, but consider making some lifestyle changes as well, including exercise and diet. If possible, discuss with your doctor the possibility of reducing or stopping your medications in the future. I wish you the best of luck.

      @@WYSbyAdamLashThank you for your kind words and advice. I don't have another BP monitor on hand. I now have the Galaxy watch ultra. It gives me very consistent readings close to the medical device's readings because my blood pressure was under control during calibration this time and has been since. Time will tell if the watch BP is accurate (once my blood pressure will drop or go sky high according to the medical device). It will happen occasionally sooner or later. I suspect the watch is going to still give me normal BP readings when it happens. Fingers crossed the new sensor changed things🤞🏻🤞🏻

    My heart rate does not correlate with BP, I could have a resting HR below 60 and very high BP, as well as elevated HR around 80-90 after longer exercise, but normal BP. If the watch's software has a built in algorithm that shows raised BP when it detects raised HR, your demo makes sense. Still, useless for BP control when changing medications or lifestyle, so a gimmick at best. I have Galaxy Watch7 by the way, it has a great battery life and is fantastic in reading HR, steps, and monitoring sleep, but the BP thing is a joke.

    • @WYSbyAdamLash
      @WYSbyAdamLash  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      BP does typically rise during exercise as your heart works harder to pump blood. While heart rate and blood pressure aren’t always perfectly aligned, especially at rest, it’s well-documented that both generally increase with physical activity.
      The Galaxy is good at tracking certain metrics, but BP tracking can be tricky and isn’t always perfectly accurate. Still, understanding that BP naturally rises with exercise is key. The watch might not be a substitute for medical-grade BP monitoring, but it can still offer valuable data if used with this understanding in mind. I like to think of it as an early warning system, but not a replacement for a medical device.

      @AlexanderGeorgiev-p3k 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@WYSbyAdamLash Exactly my point, knowing that BP would go up with HR when all other factors are constant, Samsung simulates a BP measurement by reporting higher BP whenever it measures higher HR. It doesn't actually measure BP, and therefore is totally uncapable of detecting change stemming from factors other than the trivial HR. It is thus useless even as a "warning system" or whatever you imagine it does. Medication, certain foods, other medical conditions that significantly alter your BP would go completely unnoticed by this "warning system".

      The blood pressure feature on Samsung Galaxy Watches (Galaxy Watch 3 to Galaxy Watch 7) works through a combination of initial calibration with a traditional cuff and advanced pulse wave analysis.
      How It Works:
      Calibration:
      - The watch is calibrated using a traditional cuff-based blood pressure monitor. Users take simultaneous readings with the cuff and the watch.
      - This data is input into the Samsung Health Monitor app. The process is repeated three times and recalibrated every four weeks for accuracy.
      Pulse Wave Analysis:
      - The watch uses photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensors to detect changes in blood volume at the wrist.
      - These sensors measure the pulse wave generated by heartbeats.
      - An algorithm analyzes the pulse transit time (the time it takes for the pulse wave to travel between arterial sites) and correlates it with the initial calibration readings to estimate systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
      This method allows the Galaxy Watch to provide blood pressure readings through non-invasive means, using advanced sensor technology and algorithms for continuous health monitoring.

      None of these watches offer glucose monitoring for diabetes. However, for blood pressure, I would highly recommend the Galaxy Watch 6. Remember, though, that the Apple Watch is more accurate for sleep tracking and for heart rate data (if you switch activites). So measuring heart rate recovery, for example, is not accurate on the Galaxy Watch. For HRR, I recommend getting a pulse Oximeter. Check my other video about the Braun Pulse Oximeter.

    Next time, get 5 friends, preferably a couple with bad blood pressure, I predict, they will *all* be in the range of *your* calibration readings if you put your watch on all of them. If so, they only reason for that would be what I said to you originally, it's a gimmick. When I was having a medical episode one day the galaxy watch 4 was saying all was normal, numbers similar to my calibration, my bp monitor however was 160's/100something. I can't remember now. Huge difference. I think as an early warning sign, how you feel would be more of an indicator than the galaxy watch, whereas a real monitor could be useful.
    Then there's the simple step counter, I wore two watches and one cheap step counter when taking a walk with my wife one day, she had on an Apple watch, the galaxy watch was way off from the other three.
    Along with getting tired of waiting for a good iteration of the Galaxy Fold series and the poor performance of the watches, I decided to buy the Iphone 16 pro max and the Ultra 2 which is on the way. I admit I'm not a huge fan of Apple's walled garden nonsense and why I got rid of Iphone 3g after one year in 2009, but I believe Apple is more serious about health than Samsung and there might be a reason why they haven't included a bp sensor of any kind in their watches, maybe it can't be done properly in the real world with a watch.....yet.

      Go ahead and do your own review. Just to clarify, Samsung actually recommends using both arms during calibration to get a more accurate baseline for their device. You don't use the same arm with the BP monitor. While there can be a natural difference in blood pressure readings between arms (up to 10 or 15 mmHg), this method helps ensure the device accounts for any variations.

    • @WYSbyAdamLash
      @WYSbyAdamLash  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Rossmax advises measuring blood pressure on the left arm when using the X5 model to ensure consistency and accuracy in regular readings. However, for initial assessments, it’s recommended to measure blood pressure in both arms to check for any significant differences. A consistent difference of more than 10 mmHg in systolic pressure between arms may indicate underlying health issues, such as peripheral artery disease or other cardiovascular concerns. If such a discrepancy is observed, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

      Don't despair man. I get it. It can be discouraging when your numbers aren’t quite where you’d like them to be. But don’t be too hard on yourself; you’re already doing the right thing by paying attention to it.
      If it's any consolation, you’re definitely not alone. Everyone deals with some kind of health issue at some point, and it’s all about taking small steps in the right direction. Even simple things like getting 30 minutes of light exercise a few times a week can make a big difference for blood pressure and glucose levels. In fact, regular physcial activity can lower blood pressure by up to 15 mmHg.
      Diet-wise, adding more potassium-rich foods like bananas, sweet potatoes, and avocados can really help because potassium balances out the effects of sodium and helps keep your blood pressure in check. Magnesium’s great too as you can get it from nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, and it helps relax your blood vessels. Also, cutting back on processed foods and salt can go a long way.
      Just take it one step at a time, and remember that progress is still progress, no matter how small. You’ve got this!
